<p>You definitely have a chance! don’t slack on the essays -really prove to Penn why you want to go there over any other school.</p>

<p>I agree with neorobie, don’t slack off on the essays. In an applicant pool where stats are, for the most part, the same, you definitely need to show Penn why you want to attend in your essays. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your stats are better than mine and I got in, if that means anything. Work HARD on your essays. Don’t talk about your accomplishments in your essays. Choose something small and significant to you, and try and be visually detailed. They know you are a well qualified applicant; now show them you are a thinking/feeling passionate person instead of a robot.</p>

<p>Just keep in mind while writing the essays the philosophy of the school (True Learning). It helps a LOT</p>
